  locked out of after effects project

  Posted by Nick Francis on April 22, 2008 at 9:33 pm

  Hi All,

  I’m running CS3 & have been completely locked out of a project I was working on.

  I was trying to get some data from a comp in another project, so i closed down this project, opened up the old project, selected what I needed in the comp & copied it. I pasted it into the new project & it came up fine but with some files saying “Original Source Deleted”. I couldn’t remember which exact files they were so I saved & closed, opened up the old project & noted the file names.

  Now, whenever I try to get back into the new project, After Effects loads up, the project window opens and then I get error 00:42. I’ve checked on websites & this seems to be the most generic error message around!

  Is there anything I can do with this project? I’m pretty sure it’s the “original source deleted” files which are the problem. Does anyone have any advice they can give me?

  Thank you!

  Nick 🙂

  Thanks Dave, that solution worked a treat. Didn’t know that Import File could be used for that purpose.

  Thanks also for the prompt reply 🙂
